Opis

The runaway bestseller that launched Tom Clancy's phenomenal career.

A military thriller so gripping in its action and so convincing in its accuracy it's rumored that the White House debriefed the author. The theme: the greatest espionage coup in history. The story: the chase for a top secret Russian missile sub. Lauded by the Washington Post as "breathlessly exciting," The Hunt for Red October remains a masterpiece of military fiction by one of the world's most popular authors, a man whose shockingly realistic scenarios continue to hold us in thrall.
